I'm trying to determine if that board supports ECC, doesn't seem like it, but that's also a feature nobody but me even cares about, and companies sometimes forget to even advertise it.

I read the manual, and I looked at the supported memory. I didn't see anything about ECC.
If it would support, I would buy it right now. Gigabyte doesn't seem to care much about ECC, which is why my last two motherboards were Asus. Both support ECC, though on the Asus m3a-78t, you can set many more options, include background scrubbing, and scrubbing rate.

I also sent Gigabyte an email asking about it, but I don't think I will get a reply quickly enough.

In my opinion, price and ECC support makes the AMD processor a big win over Intel processors. Not supporting ECC on a motherboard seems pretty silly to me, if all the hardware is there...
 
I just got back from fry's. I got a gigabyte ga-m68m-s2 and a amd athlon x2-250 for $50 after a $10 rebate. Not nearly fancy as the super gigabyte mb, but it is for a secondary computer, and the price is stupidly cheap.

Of course, there is no ECC on this mb...

Hm, you want this for overclocking potential? My guess would be all the processors they are selling now are the latest revision and thus will be roughly equivalent in overclocking capability.

the C3 revision has a smaller revised box design, it also has a different box code

HDZ965FBK4DGM is c3 while HDZ965FBK4DGI is c2 stepping

Just returned from Fry's--here's my Box code:

OPN: HDZ965FBGMBOX
SN: 9A87361K90082

I assume the "M" is what matters? slightly different numbers than what you gave.


I returned a Phenom II X4 945 + Biostar MB that I picked up 2 weeks ago for $200-$20 rebate, of which I forgot to print out the rebate form in time so with this deal, I'm paying the same for upgraded CPU and superior MB.

I opened the previous CPU box to check the pins and the MB box to make sure everything was there, but never touched it. I was away from home the last two weeks. Full refund! (yes, most of you hate this type of behavior...so do I 😀).

The Biostar board had onboard ATI 3350 GPU, of which I was hoping to use until prices drop on the 5xxx series, so now I have to get the GPU earlier than thought... Oh well. I'll be stepping up from x800 xl, so I may just go with ~4900 or something for much cheaper and be plenty happy.
